| Description | Madison, WI – Government Accountability Board Director Kevin Kennedy issued a statement today regarding the Board’s potential requests for funding and for additional time to complete its work reviewing the six recall petitions:
In the last several days the G.A.B. has given members of the Legislature two important communications about the recall petition review process itself and the request for funding to pay for the work. They are available here: [Link] and here: [Link]
The letter seeking funds explained that we may need some additional time to complete our review. There are two reasons for an extension:
-Additional time to complete the data entry and duplicate check of the Lt. Governor petitions. While we had considered using statistical sampling methods to check for duplicates on the Lt. Governor petitions, we have decided to treat them exactly the same as the Governor and four State Senate recall petitions. That means having all the names entered into a database so they can be sorted to identify and eliminate duplicates.
-Election scheduling issues. Wisconsin’s municipal clerks need time to complete work on the April 3 Spring Election and Presidential Preference Primary before starting their preparation for possible recall elections. We hope to schedule all elections on the same dates to reduce costs, and we also need to avoid scheduling conflicts with Memorial Day. |
